Description

maven-javadoc-plugin adds compiled classes from build output directory to javadoc's classpath. There are certain cases when this can lead to either incorrect serialized-form.html page or failure (in case of jdk8). See [1] for more details. I think that having classes from build output directory on javadoc's classpath is not necessary. It may cause only problems and user can call javadoc:javadoc before actual build anyway.
